Record label: PAROLE RECORDS, which have some affiliation with FESTIVAL RECORDS

Reason for break-up - negotiations broke down whilst working up a USA record deal. Sounds a little like Moving Pictures situation... Also similar to Moving Pictures and MODELS, there was a band with an identical name in UK - this would've caused problems for the band, no doubt about it.

The PROMISE released one LP / CASS in 1987, which included all their previous singles, as follows -

The PROMISE released six singles, as follows -

1. (Living in a) Fault Line World

Released on indie label Down Under Records and Tapes - seemingly as white-label then reprint?

A statement from Greg Herbert, lead vox from the band re the release of their first single - "The band had been writing furiously right through '83 and into '84. Our then manager, Alan Barker and we thought it would be great to get some product out to really drum up interest in the band. We picked 2 of our then strongest songs and decided to do a double A sided single. Luckily 4ZZZ and 2JJJ picked up Love made me Weird and that really boosted our profile! Next thing we had EMI, Mushroom Records and Festival Records chasing us. Love made Me Weird was written by David and Faultline by me. It was produced by our then sound engineer, Ian Taylor."

Bonus live track - a non-album track called 'Messages' was popular with the punters -

Some demo tracks have recently been unearthed, including -

Seaching for Laura -

"It's in your head", she says -

Original emotion -

I'm hoping to get a copy of all the LP & b-sides one of these days. I'd love to hear them!
